First a brief disclaimer:
This pattern making technique is ideal for small crafts (tea wallets, mama cloth, sandwich wraps, etc). It's especially great when the pattern will be used over and over again.
To make a pattern you will need:
Felt
Sharpie marker
Paper
Pencil
Ruler
Scissors
Measure all parts of the item you wish to make the pattern for. If you don't have the item on hand, sketch a rough draft and measure your rough draft.
 |
| Measure the width |
 |
| Measure the height |
 |
| Measure the pockets |
 |
| Trace the item |
 |
| Traced! |
 |
| Add 1/4" to all sides |
MEASURE AGAIN:
Measure your paper pattern to make sure that all sides are the proper length.
Pin your paper pattern to a piece of felt.
 |
| Place pattern on felt. |
Cut out your felt pattern.
 |
| Label your pattern |
Label your pattern with any relevant instructions. My tea wallet pattern needed several markings.
 |
| Mark pattern as necessary |
 |
| Mark for snap placement |
 |
| Fully marked pattern |
Repeat this process for all pattern parts.
